1840 Small Date, Large 18 (N-2?) 1842 Small Date (N-1, N-2) 1843 Petite Head, Large Letters (N-4, N-13?) 1843 Mature Head, Large Letters (N-5,...
Thanks, all. To keep the set somewhat sane I'm trying to limit the grades to VF thru AU. And so far so good. None Fine and only one MS and it's...
It arrived!!!...
At $90 it's no bargain but not taking you to the cleaners either. FOR THE GRADE the price is at the top end. BUT when I first saw it I thought...
How much? BTW, it's a CENT, not a penny.
Who's going to take a chance and bid? (BTW, not me.)

I'm leaning towards AT.
I went with AU-58. I see a few very small spots that I believe is where the toning is broken.
Why not buy NGC or PCGS slabbed coins in the first place. Yes, I understand that ANACS and ICG coins (and don't forget SEGS and PCI) are often...
And Dansco doesn't include all the coins that the NGC Registry Set has. I don't know about PCGS's version of a type set. But as I always say,...
That certainly is a consideration. But the way things are going you may not have another choice.
